Exmouth

We stocked up our supplies in Exmouth (food, water, fuel, new flip flops and a new torch) and camped in the bush for 2 nights in the National Park at Ned's camp. We went bird watching from a bird hide in the mangroves at sunset which was great fun until the mosquitos came out. We couldn't get the mosquito coil lit quickly enough! We walked along Yardie Creek gorge looking for rock wallabies...

 and went snorkelling at Turquoise Bay which was beautiful.

We went whale watching and didn't see a thing!

And watched the sun set from the light house:

But our biggest adventure was turtle spotting! We went and sat on the beach in the dark clutching our torch and waiting patiently for the nesting turtles to climb out of the sea and up the beach to lay their eggs in the sand dunes behind us. Our patience paid off and we saw two massive turtles, the first turtle knew we were there and went back into the sea without laying her eggs, but the second one walked right up the beach and laid her eggs behind us. We then had to drive back to the tent in the dark which took us over an hour as we had to drive so slowly as there were sooooo many roos.
